PRECAUTIONS SECTION.

The sclera of the eye is also stained. The natureof the pigment is not definitely known, it may be metallic silver or oxide. This discoloration exists throughout life but does not cause anysystematic symptoms. While small patches may be removed, this method is so tedious and painful as to be impractical for large areas.
